King Hubbert. He became famous in the 1970s for predicting that USproduction would peak in 1974 (it did) and then decline (it has). I met him in the 1980s fordinner and asked if he had a prediction for world oil. He declined to predict because hesaid that other countries didn't keep as good records as the US and they lied about theirreserves in order to claim a larger share of the market.More recently another Shell employee and friend of Hubbert, Kenneth S. Deffeyes, wrote"Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage". (Princeton Univ. Press, 2001). Heis a world famous geologist at Princeton, teaching "Rocks for Jocks". He has put thisreputation on the line, saying "My own opinion is that the peak in world oil production mayeven occur before 2004. What happens if I am wrong? I would be delighted to be provedwrong. It would mean that we have a few additional years to reduce our consumption ofcrude oil. However, it would take a lot of unexpectedly good news to postpone the peakto 2010."There are 37.6 million websites dealing with OIL and only 218,000 dealing with OILDEPLETION, such as..http://www.odac-info.org/ and http://www.peakoil.net/.Here are a few excerpts...http://www.woodgas.com/oil.htm (1 of 3) [10/9/2008 08:24:07]
